I have a few pb groups, but locating a group of people to exchange chapters with has been a little more difficult.

I get my ideas from Storystorm, which used to be called PiBoIdMo, and then I research mentor texts through ReFoReMo and finally put everything together with ChaBooCh. So far this system has worked pretty well for me.<br /><br />Thank you for all the examples of opening sentences and chapter transitions as well as your list of resourcessaputnamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09006894490671128188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115786557639856820.post-49548836329107597042017-03-16T07:19:41.130-07:002017-03-16T07:19:41.130-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.saputnamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09006894490671128188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115786557639856820.post-67752999593403496582017-03-16T06:26:06.493-07:002017-03-16T06:26:06.493-07:00Great post.
